Solitonic lattices in photorefractive crystals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional spatial solitonic lattices are generated and investigated experimentally and numerically in a Sr(x)Ba(1-x)Nb(2)O(6):Ce crystal. An enhanced stability of these lattices is achieved by exploiting the anisotropy of coherent soliton interaction, in particular the relative phase between soliton rows. The manipulation of individual soliton channels is achieved by the use of supplementary control beams.

Propagation of Incoherently Coupled Soliton Pairs in Photorefractive Crystals and their Self-Deflection
Propagation of incoherently soliton pairs in photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions is studied. These soliton states can be generated when the two mutually incoherent optical beams with the same polarization and wavelength incident on the biased photorefractive crystal. Such soliton pairs can exist in bright-bright, dark-dark, gray-gray as well as in bright-dark types. In this p...
متن کاملTemporal solitonic crystals and non-hermitian informational lattices.
Clusters of temporal optical solitons--stable self-localized light pulses preserving their form during propagation--exhibit properties characteristic of that encountered in crystals. Here, we introduce the concept of temporal solitonic information crystals formed by the lattices of optical pulses with variable phases. The proposed general idea offers new approaches to optical coherent transmiss...
متن کاملObservation of light localization in modulated Bessel optical lattices.
We generate higher-order azimuthally modulated Bessel optical lattices in photorefractive crystals by employing a phase-imprinting technique. We report on the experimental observation of self-trapping and nonlinear localization of light in such segmented lattices in the form of ring-shaped and single-site states. The experimental results agree well with numerical simulations accounting for an a...
متن کاملTransverse modulational instabilities of counterpropagating solitons in photorefractive crystals.
We study numerically the counterpropagating vector solitons in SBN:60 photorefractive crystals. A simple theory is provided for explaining the symmetry-breaking transverse instability of these solitons. Phase diagram is produced that depicts the transition from stable counterpropagating solitons to bidirectional waveguides to unstable optical structures. Numerical simulations are performed that...
متن کاملLight localization in azimuthally modulated Bessel photonic lattices
We study the propagation and localization of light beams in azimuthally modulated Bessel photonic lattices induced optically in photorefractive crystals; such lattices resemble highly nonlinear micro-structured fibres. We report on the experimental observation of discrete diffraction, nonlinear localization, and subsequent formation of spatial solitons. Our experimental results are confirmed by...
